This is one of the most useful, and neat videos I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing the names of all the lifts and slopes. This is absolutely fabulous.

Uhm... Not Le Massa and the village Saint Martin Belleville?

good video, but the vertical drop for this 16 lifts/ this course trough the resort cant be 12475m.
When you add up your mentioned 16 lift rides, youll get about 8450m vertical. 8000m vertical without taking chapelets twice! 8000m vertical doable for much more skiers than 12500m.
